Living in Rhode Island spoils us. After all, we have so much to do that we can never really get bored (unless we want to, of course), and the landscape? It’s some of the most beautiful in the world. Next time you want to explore some of that beauty, plan a visit to this natural wonder in Rhode Island. Your adventure starts with a ferry ride to Block Island.
You won't find a better way to spend a day than on Block Island, and on your next visit, start your adventure at Rodman's Hollow Nature Preserve.
Save time, too, while you're in New Shoreman, to drink in the stunning views from Mohegan Bluffs, another natural wonder in Rhode Island.
Known as "the birthplace of conservation on Block Island," Rodman's Hollow is an outwash glacial basin that spans 230 acres. Within that acreage is a variety of plant life and birds.
When it comes to birds, Rodman's Hollow is best known for its resident northern harrier. You might even catch this beautiful bird eating or in a nest while at this Rhode Island nature preserve.
The best way to explore the nature preserve is on the nearly one-mile Rodman's Hollow Trail. While it's rated moderate, some hikers describe it as a walk through the woods that the kids can do. The trail is also dog-friendly if your dog remains leashed.
